Electrically and acoustically biased resonators for investigations of dielectric low temperature properties of amorphous solids — •Christian Ständer, Jan Blickberndt, Joyce Glass, Benedikt Frey, Andreas Reifenberger, Andreas Fleischmann, Andreas Reiser, and Christian Enss — Kirchhoff-Institute for Physics, Heidelberg University, D-69120 Heidelberg

The low temperature properties of amorphous solids are governed by atomic tunnelling systems, which can be described as two-level systems (TLS) with a distribution of their energy splitting E, as assumed by the phenomenological standard tunnelling model. Recent interest in these systems due to their deteriorative effects on the performance of superconducting quantum devices lead to novel experimental investigations of atomic tunnelling systems driven by novel measurement techniques.
We use newly designed microfabricated superconducting LC-resonators to study the dielectric rf-response of the amorphous sample in the presence of an electric bias field. A novel method of applying this electrical bias field was introduced to the resonators. Compared to previous experiments, the bias field is applied via an electrode placed above the resonator chip. We present first results of this new way of introducing a bias, which modifies the energy splitting E of a TLS.
In addition we tried to achieve a similar effect as with the electrical bias field with a mechanical strain field. To induce such a strain field, the amorphous substrate of the resonator chip was flexed by a piezo-actuator.
